LA Moms Blog/Orange County Moms Blog Party

As one of the managing members of the Silicon Valley Moms Group, I have the honor of interacting with an amazing group of bloggers. I also value sponsors that put value in outreach to mom bloggers, they deserve a shout out. We just recently had a party and invited our Los Angeles Mom bloggers, soon to launch Orange County Mom Bloggers and other local mom bloggers. Here is a link to the RECAP EVENT POST that discusses the fun we all had. The event was held at the beautiful Ritz Carlton Laguna Nigel (pictured left, photo credit Carla Duharte-Razura of Babyjidesign) .

To put on the event, we had the joy of staying at the Ritz Carlton, the hotel and surrounding beach property was absolutely gorgeous. After the event was over, it was so hard to leave. I am still dreaming of the workout room facing the ocean. If I had access to a beautiful workout room like that regularly, I would finally get in shape! Linsey Krolik, another managing member of Silicon Valley Moms Group, posted on her personal blog Me Too You additional pictures of the Ritz Carlton Laguna Nigel. The full set of Carla Duharte-Razura/ Babyjidesign's pictures are on Flickr.

Disclosure: The hotel did not pay for my stay and I was not obligated to write a post about the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, but they were a sponsor and partner of the SV Moms Group event that we held there for the LA Moms Blog and Orange Country Moms Blog bloggers. I am a partner at SV Moms Group.
